The Fishermen's Day in Memmingen is a festival full of tradition and community that touches the hearts of residents and visitors alike year after year. Early in the morning, punctually at eight o'clock, the town fishermen gather in their traditional costumes at the town stream to experience a spectacle that is as old as the town itself. The moment when the fishermen plunge into the stream with a courageous leap marks the start of a competition based not only on skill, but also on luck and experience.
Armed with landing nets, the fishermen wade through the cool water, their eyes firmly fixed on the goal: to catch the heaviest trout. It is a moment when past and present meet, as this custom dates back to the Middle Ages. The town stream becomes a stage on which each fisherman demonstrates his skills, while the spectators on the banks watch the action with rapt attention.
But the Fishermen's Day is more than just a competition. It is a celebration of togetherness, where young and old, locals and guests, celebrate tradition together. The cheerful atmosphere, the laughter and the cheers echo through the alleyways of the old town and make this day an unforgettable experience for all those who are able to take part.
